Thorfinn - his knives

Rurouni Kenshin - his reverse blade

If you don't know who is Thorfinn and you want feats, I can explain his feats (more like a wiki editor than a battle person) after reading 100 chapters or so last night. (see Vinland Saga 101 Chapters Binge)). It's a good manga series if you don't mind the bloody gore of war, slavery, and revenge. I'll make the Vinland Saga discussion for folks.

I never took into calcs because I'm not a calc person. I won't ignore them when people use them argument. I just concede or admit I don't understand them. Supersonic + - isn't that bit much for a series that has warriors with above human qualities but not reaching inhuman or superhuman feats.

For close combat, Thorfinn has done great in close combat with his knives against Askeladd, a sword wielder, and Thorkell, a giant who can throw a spear accurately over a wide distance and hack people with 2 axes. However, he did lose to both of them.

Looks like I made a bad thread again. I thought I knew Rurouni Kenshin, but I didn't take speed into account. I can be wrong.

I'll make the Vinland Saga manga discussion in the evening. I'll see you there. I thank you for checking out the anime and manga discussion threads. I wish more folks from the battle, RPG, and other forums hit them up. I'm promoting them everywhere and even in the battle threads. I hit flood fail just after creating a blog post and a battle thread. Anime Vice loves to mess with me.

It ain't a calc, Kenshin performed bullet-timing feats. The verse has always been at a superhuman level.

Good point, I should have finished Rurouni Kenshin. I never got deep in it. Didn't remember him dodging bullets with those old guns. I assumed he can only dodge if he can see the enemy's line of sight. Given Thorfinn's combat experiences and feats, he wouldn't win against Kenshin in a long fight.
